Re: KnowBe4 Security & Awareness Training Feedback

[Jeff Holden <jholden () CCCTECHCENTER ORG>]

For those that have switched to KnowBe4 or other platforms what is the
pricing like, does it even come close to SANS? SANS I feel is just ok and
we would like to explore other training, but the main sticking point is the
price. Feel free to respond off the list.


Thanks,
